Treasury delays semi-annual currency report, again Posted: 13 Apr 2012 01:38 PM PDT Report to Congress delayed until after IMF meetings, meeting with China. The currency report will be buried until after the November election if the administration could get away with it as it tries to avoid the subject of labeling China a currency manipulator, or not. Presumptive GOP nominee Romney says he will label China a currency manipulator if he wins the election. Betcha that’s one of the first campaign pledges he breaks…It’s one thing to campaign like a populist; its another thing to govern that way… |

Not much bounce..Traders eye 1.5840 in the GBPUSD Posted: 13 Apr 2012 11:04 AM PDT The buyers were given the opportunity to push the GBPUSD higher and they could not do it (see chart above). So the pair rotates back down to see what lies at the 1.5831-40 area where the 50% of the range since January 26th and the 200 day MA are found (at 1.5840). There should be buyers against the level. However, a move below, should solicit some additional Friday selling. I would not fade such a move – unless it fails quickly. |
